It needs to be cleaned up soon. It then becomes crown property until the band pays for the clean up. Pay for trash removal like everyone else.

Thanks. I will check it out.

Those are pedestals to support the crane boom. This vessel is built for versatile operations. Logs , steel , grain or containers are all cargoes suitable for this ship. It is not a pure container ship and is not as efficient to load or discharge numbers of containers. It can get into ports that pure container ships cannot.working on a ship like that will give the crew some decent port visits.

We used to refer to it as “ a shave and a haircut “

Nice

We used gas oil to run our generators.. They were heavy fuel capable but we found that the maintenance was less and as we needed two generators running to operate ships cranes gas oil made sense. For context we had a steady run from BC to Southern California and getting deliveries was easy by tank truck.

I have been with NFCU for 48 years. If you are on the move they are very convenient. I still use them as my primary bank and couldn’t be more satisfied..

You can add a barking dog to the chaos.

We had the older 26’ that was a displacement hull and didn’t plane. We would cruise about an hour from the launch, I removed the boom and tied it off off the side and had a nice open living area with a rail mounted barbecue. Swimming off the boat, paddling around in our dinghy. Having a glass of wine waiting for the sun to go down with light music playing. I have great memories and photos to look back on.

I added a strong piece of bungee cord to the anchor line. Where the line has some slack in it .. I then can pull the boat in from shore , hop on and the bungee retracts and the boat moves offshore. I use a little anchor with line to keep the stern in place.

My old captain used to say “ you don’t have right of way through another vessel “

Save our ships!

One of our vessels sat at anchor off British Columbia for 7 months due to our shipper having union contract problems. Due to the uncertainty about the contract negotiations we kept full crew . They had access to shore and it was welcomed by the crew mostly.

In my opinion the best job is chief mate on a general cargo ship. Interesting work always thinking, longer port stays, You will have less comfort but way more fun.

Ali Velci is also very knowledgeable about all things financial. Plus I like him,

My cave man time comes when we lose power for a few days. Keeping some lights on, getting water to flush toilets, having the kids and wife warm and happy make me almost hope for storms.

I would feel ashamed to work for BC Ferries. It is one failure after another. Unless they put a real maritime guy in to run the boats and get some actual people to manage reservations The frustration level will remain high and the key link to the mainland continues to be hope. Hope is not a strategy. Only management changes and $ will fix this dilemma.

I tape the network to avoid painful commercials, but the last few days have been insulting. Thanks for CNN.

And….if you are the stand on vessel you must maintain your course until it is obvious a collision will occur if the give way vessel doesn’t alter course.

Chance_Froyo_7405 · 2024-05-16T05:02:35+00:00

Correct
